Thanks Bill.  In practice, I'm very well aware of the RemoveEmptyStaves 
command and use it with almost every piece of music I create.  However, in 
this case the music isn't empty, and I use a unique way (from Noteworthy 
composer) to create an ossia from a soloist's music to cue the chorus.  So I 
want a way to mark the soloist's stave to prevent it being bracketed as if 
it were chorus.  I have also looked at cue notes and quoting, but I can't 
see how to make them work as I wish either.
